Electron paramagnetic resonance characterization of the exopolysaccharide layer produced by bacteria.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In order to establish a method to characterize the structural heterogeneity of the bacterial surface, research was conducted with a combination of experiments based on electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) concentration-imaging (CI) and the modeling of translational diffusion with local restrictions. The benefits and drawbacks of this approach are discussed for the Vibrio sp. exopolysaccharide (EPS) layer.

Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, also known as Electron Spin Resonance(ESR) especially among physicists, is a strong and versatile spectroscopic method forinvestigation of paramagnetic systems, i.e. systems like free radicals and most transition metalions, which have unpaired electrons. The sensitivity and selectivity of EPR are notable andintriguing as compared to other spec...

Rock powder of dolomite samples from the Renison mine area of Tasmania, Australia were analyzed by electron paramagnentic resonance spectroscopy (EPR), Atomic Absorption and Mass Spectrometer to identify alteration related to mineralisation. The least-altered dolomite samples, which are not effected by circulation of diagenetic and hydrothermal fluids are characterised by low Mn and Fe and ...

The magnetisation and electron spin resonance (ESR) spectrum of two specimens of tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C), deposited from a filtered cathodic arc, were measured over a wide temperature range. The magnetisation was found to consist of superparamagnetic, paramagnetic and diamagnetic contributions. The superparamagnetic contribution resembled that recently found in carbon prepared from ...

Background: The majority of studies on soil Aspergillus concern the isolation and characterization of the antimicrobial compounds produced by this organism. Our previous studies indicated an isolated Aspergillus strain soil to be of interest, and this subject is further investigated here. Method: Soil samples of various locations in Iran were collected. Extract from Aspergillus sp. culture was...

To investigation non-bonded interaction of the [CuF4]2- complex inside nanoring, we focus on the single wall boron-nitride B18N18 nanoring. Thus, the geometry of B18N18 nanoring has been optimized by B3LYP method with EPR-II basis set and geometry of the [CuF4]2- complex has been optimized at B3LYP method with Def2-TZVP basis set and Stuttgart RSC 1997 Effective Core Potential. Also electronic ...
